Edit: I can't get the correct link to copy, but it shows them at $2.38. Type in the part # and you'll see it.

I called Messick's today, was real excited when I saw they listed them and a good price. But, alas, they did NOT have them, and after checking several alternate sources she had, she said no go. I couldn't believe NOBODY has replaced these things!

[quote="Thanks all for the suggestions!

Ran into that with Messick's before. They have ALL KINDS of goodies listed on the site but when you call....NLA. Is one of my top 5 biggest pet peeves....

Yes, this isn't the first time I have called on a "listed" part....very annoying. Wish they would purge their lists.

Super A, if you happen to be replacing the transmission seal, I now have an extra set of those washers for the flange taper bolts.

Thanks Dale, I'd love to have a set. Both the '50 and the Super A-1 are going to need transmissions opened up.

Today WAS another good day, although I ran out of time to get all the bolts back in, so the full story must wait til tomorrow! It only took 2 of us to push his 2 halves back together, although I did spend a bit of time figuring out where it was hanging up. I will post photos tomorrow (or this weekend since the shop is closed) when I am not so tired.

I can't wait to crank him up and see if first, he runs again! And second, the seal isn't leaking!! The rubber washers fit fine and looked great. This did give me a chance to clean the rest of the clutch housing that I couldn't reach before, so not totally wasted efforts! Thanks for some good brainstorming. Even if problems aren't solved directly on this forum, I find it is a way to organize ideas and come up with new approaches to things....keeps those little grey cells working!!
